With a bit of luck the wonderful Steve Thomason will be singing at a Folk Night we are running at the Golden Shield in Fleckney Leicestershire on the 30th of this month. This will probably be the last chance to see him in our neck of the woods for a long time. A truly outstanding singer with a prodigous repertoire,even if he did fool me by passing off a song as a Child Ballad. He and Theresa will be sadly missed from Second Saturdays Best wishes Nic, Jacky and Vic

Steve is the very first guest to feature at a new venture starting up at Hanlon's Brewery, Half Moon, Exeter EX5 5AE. This is to be a platform performance venue for floor singers with a guest ('Hanlon's Half Hour) in each half. There will also be a guest MC. The session will be seasonal; 9 June, 8 September and 8 December 2015. £5 on the door to include a pint of brewery beer, a pasty and some great singing! This first, summer, session to feature Steve, Flash Jack with MC Alan Rosevear. Good luck all!
